Alba Rises

Devolution, Independence, call it what you may It's all about people, and what those people say If they have decided, it's time the splits to be It's the end of a flagging Empire, I'm glad I'm alive to see What we call the United Kingdom, it's living in the past There was always going to be a time, forget the pasts aghast It's time to look to our tomorrows, rejoice in what they'll bring For one day we'll be one Alba, a population once again will sing UNSUPPORTED CODE

Charmaine, all we want is to govern ourselves. This coming Thursday, Sept 18th will be the day. It's going to be close. What's for you, won't pas by you. It's always a joy seeing you at my humble writes, James :)

Sept 18th is the big day when we decide whether to sever our ties with the rest of the UK, but it's primarily to desire to rule ourselves, James :)
